iuiml tant @zum l @time The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patentand part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN G. TALBOT, of Sloansville, Schoha-rie county,in the State of New York, have invented an Improved FarmGate; and Ihereby declare thefollowing to be a full and exact description thereof,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspeciication.V

lhel nature or essence of ,my invention consists in applyingcertanimprovements to the gate for which I obtained Letters Patent, dated Junel1, 1867 said iniprovemen s being the several combinations, hereinafterexpressed, ofthe devices specified.

In the accompanying drawings, hereinhefore mentioned, the gate A, whenclosed, as shownf in Figure 1, is supported at one end by the pulley B,in the bracket O, which is -hingednpon the stand D, fastened upon thepost E, and atthe other end bythe cross-piece a, connecting the twoparts -of the post'F; the projecting ends of the bars or slats of thegate being held between said parts, as indicated by dotted linesv in thfigure, the pin b also passing through these parts, and through oneofthe bars, to fasten the gate securely. 1

The bottom of the gate is held in place by the pin.

c, inserted through the arm d, projecting from the post E.

To open the gate, the pin b is drawn out, and the gate run back on thepulley B, until it is balanced, or nearly balanced uponthe pulley, tvhenitmay'be `swung around upon the hinged bracket C, to a position at rightangles to its former position, as shown in Figure 2, so as to leave thegate-way open and free; the bottom ofthe gate being still held'by thepino.

Io prevent the bar of the gate from being rubbed and wo1'n,when the gateis pushed-back or drawn for- Ward, afriction-roller, e,'is placed in thebracket O, for the bar to rest against.

The stand D, upon which thepnlley-bracket is hinged, (see Figure 3,) hastwo eyes, or sockets, It h,

'the gate lifted, so as to place the second bar of the gate from thetop, upon `the pulley B, as shown in red on ifr. 1.

@Another arm, like d, may be inserted in the post E, adapted tothe-height of the gate, when thus raised, if thought necessary ordesirable. The foregoing being a description of myimprovements infarm-gatesl. I claim connecting the hinged bracket O to the stand D, onthe post,l by means of two pivots and corresponding eyes, substantiallyas described.

2. In combination with the Swingin g bracket O, having two pivots 115,1claim the reversible stand D, with v two eyes or sockets, h h, toreceive said pivots, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. In combination with the pulley-bracket O, hinged or pivoted upon thestand D, as described, I claim the friction-roller e, arranged in thebracket-plate, substantially as shown and described.

4. And in combination with said pulley-,bracket C,

'hinged in the manner described, I also claim the armcl, with its loosepin c, substantially as and for the pur pose set forth.
